Where Porcher stands

Are there any little-known powers or responsibilities held by this office that you believe more people should be aware of?

Many don’t realize the Labor Commissioner can shape how workforce grants and training funds are distributed across the state. This office influences which programs get resources and which communities get access. The Commissioner can also lead partnerships that connect technical colleges, employers, and job seekers turning workforce development into a driver of local growth.
